I want to create a large number of plots. I am using a setup similar
to:
Do[
Export[
"/Users/Shared/"<>ToString[x]<>".eps",
Plot[Sin[t], {t, 0, 1}, DisplayFunction->Identity],
"EPS"],
{x, 1, 100000}
]
With this setup, the Mathematica Front End memory usage starts growing quickly
until it crashes. If the front end is not displaying any of the plots,
I don't understand why it keeps using more and more memory.
Is there a memory efficient way of doing this?
I am using Mathematica 5.1.1 under Mac OS X 10.3.8.
